Which genetically modifying human cells may directly affect future generations?
Somatic cells are body cells. Genetically modifying them might have an influence of the subject on which the procedure was carried out but will not have any direct influence on future generations. Genetic alternation of germ cells however, will have an effect on future generations.
When was Dead Embryonic Cells created?
Dead Embryonic Cells was created in 1991.
What are some benefits and problems of using biotechnology based on stem cell research?
The pluripotent nature of stem cells allows researchers to use them in a variety of applicatoins ranging from antibody production to studying various developmental processes. Another beninit includes the use of stem cells in cell replacement therapy, where a colony or group of nin-functional cells can be replaced with genetically engineered stem cells. One of the proposed applications for this method is in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The problem with stem cells are the equipment, fecilities and skills required to maintain them. Ethics comes into the picture when we are dealing with stem cells. Genetically modifying human embryonic stem cellsis against the law.
What is the major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells?
The major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells is that the embryonic stem cells can cause the destruction of an embryo.
How are adult stem cells better then embryonic stem cells?
They are not better, embryonic stem cells can become more types then adult.
How are adult body cells differ from embryonic stem cells?
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells

Why do cell researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
What are the techniques to produce embryonic stem cells and embryonic germ cells?
Sacrifice a embryo at the blastocoel stage. Obtain the stem cells from the blastomere.
Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
Is using embryonic stem cells for research legally considered murder?
Using embryonic stem cells for research is not murder.
How do embryonic cells acquire their fate?
the fate of embryonic cells is in the hands of genes. they are responsible for the embryonic cells differentiation. if clitoris develops, penis is formed and male is produced. if clitoris is suppressed, vagina is formed and female is produced.
